The Wall Street Journal reported today, Saturday, that German investigators are examining evidence suggesting that a team of saboteurs used Poland as a base of operations to damage the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea in September.
The newspaper added that German investigators have fully reconstructed the two-week voyage of the Andromeda, a 15-meter white yacht suspected of being involved in damaging the pipelines that transport Russian gas supplies to Europe.
According to the report, investigators indicated that the yacht deviated from its intended route in Polish waters, based on data from Andromeda's transponders and navigation equipment, as well as mobile and satellite phone data, Gmail accounts, and DNA samples found on board, which Germany attempted to match with the DNA of at least one Ukrainian soldier.
Last week, The Washington Post reported that the United States was aware of a Ukrainian plan to attack the pipelines three months before the underwater explosions occurred.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Wednesday to German media that Ukraine did not attack the Nord Stream pipelines.
The explosions occurred in the economic zones of Sweden and Denmark, with both countries asserting the blasts were intentional but not yet identifying those responsible.
German media reported in March that a yacht connected to a Polish company owned by Ukrainians might be involved in the attack. RT reported that the CIA informed Belgium about Ukraine's role in sabotaging Nord Stream, but Brussels kept this information confidential to maintain Western support unity for Ukraine.
